Lockdown instances have led to many changes in the music industry -- one of which includes new experimental and collaborative projects. One of the latter includes an upcoming full-length album by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, titled Carnage.
Ellis is a long-term member of Cave's backing band, The Bad Seeds, but Carnage marks his first album as a duo with just Cave.
Created in lockdown, “Making Carnage was an accelerated process of intense creativity,” Ellis says of the process. "The eight songs were there in one form or another within the first two and a half days.”
Carnage is available now digitally, with a CD and vinyl release scheduled for April 28 via Goliath Records.
Carnage track listing:
1. Hand of God
2. Old Time
3. Carnage
4. White Elephant
5. Albuquerque
6. Lavender Fields
7. Shattered Ground
8. Balcony Man
